If you are one of those then please see some useful tips below that will help you save time and avoid unwanted wrinkles.
Before starting ironing, always check the iron's plate and make sure it's free of mineral deposits otherwise it will leave brown marks as you iron, especially when you press the 'steam' button. A good tip is to clean the steam holes of the plate, make sure the iron is cold and use pipe cleaners dipped in soapy water to scrub the holes. To rinse, turn your iron on and 'steam' the soapy water out onto a rag. If the plate itself is dirty use a soft scrub cream cleaner and rub the plate gently.
You should always fill your steam iron with distilled water particularly if your water is hard like it is here in sunny Kent. To save time and make your ironing easier, we would recommend using a heat reflective cover on your ironing board.
Do NOT forget to set your iron at the temperature indicated by the universal laundering symbols on the tags.
To minimise your ironing time your should fold your laundry as soon as your dryer stops.
For best results you should iron your linens whilst damp and on the wrong side of the fabric to avoid damaging any finishes like embroidery cutwork or lace.
Of course to avoid ironing completely why not try our ironing, laundry and dry cleaning service here at www.iron-maids.co.uk
